Most AI chips and hardware accelerators that power machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications include floating-point units (FPUs). Algorithms used in neural networks today are often ...
[Editor's note: For an intro to fixed-point math, see Fixed-Point DSP and Algorithm Implementation. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a surprisingly ...
As defined by the IEEE 754 standard, floating-point values are represented in three fields: a significand or mantissa, a sign bit for the significand and an exponent field. The exponent is a biased ...
Native Floating-Point HDL code generation allows you to generate VHDL or Verilog for floating-point implementation in hardware without the effort of fixed-point conversion. Native Floating-Point HDL ...
Floating point units (fpu) can increase the range and precision of mathematical calculations or enable greater throughput in less time, making it easier to meet real time requirements. Or, by enabling ...
